#my mom & grandma just act like... it should be ??? like i should be feeling awful and beating myself up over it ????

[gender-euphowrya]

i know our fatphobic cultures have deepfried and glassblown people's brains but it always boggles my mind when a fat person is fatphobic ??? what are you doing

[fierceawakening]

The other thing that’s weird is, like… (yes, I have stopped looking at that blog. I should not have in the first place but occasionally autismblr and cluster b blr intersect so since a lot of my friends are on the autism spectrum occasionally this is on my dash, and I took the bait and went down the rabbit hole yesterday, against my better judgment but I felt I had to make sure there’s nothing new that might change my mind)

Like. I’ve begun to suspect that part of the reason my mom and aunt are a bit messed up is that my grandma had some narcissistic traits. She was very image obsessed and shamed my mom for not being beautiful and lavished praise on my aunt for being the cute one. (I never saw it. Aunt constantly has a “something smells bad in here” expression and all I could ever see when I looked at her was Mr. Yuck.) (And yes, she did the same thing to me. But I'm trans. I wasn't profoundly affected by her desire for me to be a beautiful girl because that wasn't me in the first place.)

So I’m thinking both my mom and my aunt have some narcissistic traits too, and that this is part of why they’re both bizarrely mean on fairly frequent occasions. (Neither are mean all day every day. But I’d personally advise anyone considering befriending either of them to look out for flying insults.)

But if this is true, then it’s likely that if any of its hereditary, I also have some similar traits. I share DNA with these people, and they raised me, which means both that I'm like them biologically AND that they're the people who taught me how to act.

And... I suspect this is true!

I actually do have a very strong desire to win people’s respect and admiration. I read posts like “it’s okay to just exist and do nothing” and can’t figure out how anyone could tolerate that.

But I don’t think I have the pathology. Because I try very hard to recognize that if I want to be special, so do most people. If I achieve it and AM special, that implies so have many other people. Therefore, it makes no sense to think I’m superior, even if I sometimes would feel better if I were. That’s not how value works, and if I try to make it work that way when it doesn't, not only will I hurt a lot of people I don’t want to hurt and feel awful about doing it, but I’ll fail at the whole project anyway.

So never mind.

And if I WANT to feel superior, there are things I can do to do that without harming others. If I play competitive games, then when I win it’s not a delusion or even a belief, it’s measurable. Someone won and it was me.

Even more importantly, the other player consented knowing they might lose. I didn’t win by harming them. I won by taking the risk of losing myself, which is fair. Added bonus if I do win it’s verifiable. I don’t have to wonder if anyone agrees.

And if I lose? I don’t like it, but it happens all the time. All it means is I need to increase my skill or focus, which are goals I can achieve. (And sometimes it means HOLY HELL OPPONENT YOU ARE SMART AND I RESPECT THAT, even though I wanted to win too.)

So yeah. When people say “you have to let me believe I’m God so I stop hurting,” I’m not looking askance because that’s weird.

I’m looking askance because that’s not the only way to stop hurting and that means they’re lying.

just gotta talk more about my dad and release this. No tags.

whatever expectations parents set for their kids, they may either be disappointed or have the kids striving so hard they’re too stressed out OR if you really don’t have any expectations for your kids at all and so they accomplish nothing because you don’t push them to accomplish anything 🤔🤔

that’s my dad. I told him when I was 13, that I would make writing music and playing piano a career and make enough money to help him pay his bills and have a nicer house one day BUT my dad was like, “no don’t take on that burden because you’ll never be famous so don’t worry about it. I’ll pay the bills and you just be a kid” yeah, that sounds great and nice but he meant that. He truly meant I’ll never be famous , he never thought I should make music a career. He probably doesn’t even think that’s a real career to have and so, his only expectations was for me to be his cute little daughter and then at 15 years old, I have to help take care of my grandma and then I helped raise my brother’s kids while my parents and brother worked all day and sure, my dad supported me financially, but I never felt like he understood me or accepted me , and then when I was suicidal, I couldn’t even tell him because he would never understand it and he would put it down because it scares him and he thinks it’s so awful and it is awful but rather than to be scared of it, I needed help and my mom was the only one who could actually help me through suicide because she prayed with me but my dad just ignored me and acted like everything was fine, but I was crying out for help the whole time and my mom was the only one who would stop to even listen to me… the rest of my family kept going and I was a hard worker so they kept letting me work!

I cleaned both my mom’s and my bro’s house plus raised the kids. Plus dealing with Andrew all the time texting me all obsessively, then ignoring me for days making me upset and I would clean, drown myself in music and watch porn to distract myself!! My brother even made the comment, “you don’t take a break. You just clean all the time…” YEAH, cuz I’m in turmoil but didn’t understand it and couldn’t seem to explain what I’m going through. My family never questioned why I cleaned both houses so spotless all the time. My mind was in constant chaos and I needed to make sense of it all. Plus I felt so nasty for watching porn, so cleaning houses, made me feel better too. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I love my dad and I feel bad whenever I talk about him but I can’t deny the little subtle comments he’s made over the years to give me “tough love” and I KNOW now that it’s probably how he feels about himself plus my dad always rushed me soooo much when we had to leave somewhere! He would bark out to me: “stop painting your face!!”, “get in the car now!!!”, “don’t slam my car door!!!” He made me nervous during those times and my mom would shrug it off cuz she was use to it. I’ve mentioned some of this revelation to her before but she didn’t really receive it all but she knows he makes comments. She just doesn’t seem to get yet he only does that cuz he must feel bad about himself. ❤️‍🩹 he was 1 of 7 kids and grew up poor in the inner city… he had a tough upbringing I imagine. 🥺 #vent

"[Name], why do you look so tired? You shouldn't be tired, I should be tired. Actually, I can't be tired, never mind. Did someone do this to you? Your... parents? Well, what are you waiting for? Show me where they live, I'll get rid of them immediately so you and I can have a bit of alone time together before Ei comes back. Stupid mortals..."

Ei

"Dear, how are you? Oh, you look awful! My apology, I couldn't think of another way to word it. Are you okay? No? Oh, okay. Maybe you'd like some... sweets! O-or candy! We can eat candy together to make you feel better! Please?"

Jean

"You look stressed beyond belief, [name]. You really need to take a break, yes, a break from your parents I mean. If they're toxic for your healththen you need to stay away from them. That might be hard but its okay, I'm the Acting Grand Master of Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius. I can... kick them out of the city! Quite unprofessional but you're one of our best knights. We can't afford to lose you to them. Stay at the headquarters' dorms for the night."

Barbara

"Oh no, [name]! You look terrible! Is it your parents again? Oh dear... You should get some rest, I really care about you, you know that right? Oh Barbatos, whatever will we do? Your parentsare going to kill you if this keeps up! I have some blankets, erm, neck pillows and oh-! I have all the ingredients we need for baking cookies? Would you like to bake with me? It'll make you feel good, I promise."

Itto

"Woah, woah, woah! [Name] you look... TERRIBLE! I won't stand for that! We're the Arataki Gang, you know? We're supposed to be all tough and cool looking: you're not looking like that right now! If something's come up, then don't you worry. Arataki, numero uno, Itto will come to your rescue. And no, I don't care that its your parents, if they're making you feel bad then they best be prepared for a fight! Trust me, it'll be okay, your big, badass, sexy boyfriend will protect you through and through!"

Zhongli

"Dear, have some tea. I know the past few days have been stressful, and your parents certainly aren't helpful, but please don't give up like this. Come, sit next to me. There there, I'm here."

Kuki

"Hey... I know how you feel. My parents were really toxic too, especially my mom. But, I believe in you. Things will get better one way or another: even if it's not them being more accepting. Maybe... it'll be us getting even closer together... BUT that's just a suggestion, heh..."

Diluc

"Maybe we need to get you away from your parents for a while... Elzer, prepare a room for [name] please. They look like they need a good night's sleep. Hush dear, it's going to be alright. They can't hurt you anymore. They wouldn't dare hurt you anymore. You're here with me, and Elzer, and Adeline."

Kaeya

"Oh, don't seem to be yourself today, hm? That's okay, everyone has their bad days. Even I do, believe it or not. Well, my beautiful significant other, I'm here with you, you're what's keeping me sane. Smile, it looks better on you."

Lisa

"Cutie! You scared me, oh no don't cry! Please, tell me. Mhm? Your parents. Ah. Darling you know how angry I get when people don't return a book, right? Well, I can be even more fierce than that. The Witch of the Purple Rose does not take those who mess with her darling lightly. "

Nilou

"This society is messed up, the sages, your parents. They just don't seem to listen to us youths! They think we're young, that we're dumb! It makes me terribly sad :( It's okay, do you want a hug?"

Al-Haitham

You see, my guy doesn't say anything. He walks out and you don't see him for about an hour or so. On the contrary, you didn't come back home to your parents that day.

rosie got fired no i feel bad i hope she get a better job

fear co is just evil ain't it

also why does fear co have ben (the kid that tylor try to laugh) door i thought here are one of kind

also if fear co have the same doors as monsters inc are they connect somehow other than a rivalry

tylor whole idk what to call it guilt regret is very cool

johnny i know is tylor is good scarer but promote him to vice president is insane

randall ach i miss you so much

i haven't mention the end talks but smitty and needleman talking randall i think they know

episode 10

the p in sully names for patrick that neat

hey where did merc take Celia

good to know that friz take the essentials

i have mixed feelings on randall and johnny being friends one hand aw that nice johnny does care for him other hand god that feel so wrong because everyone thought he kick him out but i do have a theory since johnny couldn't get sully so he decide to keep randall because i mean hey he still did a good job on the scarce games beside that last part

randall such a petty bitch i love him

i can't believe sunny and cutter broke up over orange juice but at lest there back together and also they kiss awesome

great use of the scream extractor also did waternoose actually come up the scream extractor

i gonna love callbacks

also why did johnny think mixing laughs and scream a good idea are you trying to cause nuclear fallout

fritz does community theater really want a episode where he and mike try and put a play

tough fritz is best fritz

god the fight between mift and randall is so cool

lucas neff impersonation richard ayoade is awesome and need him to be in more stuff

okay so duncan and declan know each other that doesn't rule out my divorce parents theory

also that sword fight is the coolest shit

honestly that whole third act is cool

i can't wait for clair and johnny divorce and clair start dating block like god intended

also the fact that johnny is sharing a cell waternoose is something

how did law enforcement lent randall out like put him in restraint or something on him like if there multiple firebreathers exist than surely there are other monsters that turn invisible too

chet being a mole was interesting i hope he get better friends

good to know that skylar and chompy work for monsters inc now

i like that tylor grow in this mostly to due to him needed to learn that you know a kid as a kid than a energy source i guess it the lessons monster need to know as well

val and tylor sharing a card remind that card that mike and sully share i think that a neat detail

also i need more detective duncan maybe an episode where he try to find randall

one last thing i want a another season man i love these characters

my overall thoughts while i did enjoy season 1 this season is a vast improvement the stakes where higher not stuck to monsters inc tylor actually was a bit more likeable pretty funny and having a nice contusion while still being left for more seasons

my thoughts on monsters at season 2 ep 1-5

episode 1

i like that we see Tylor family more and just be outside of monster inc more

it nice that val hang out tylor family

tylor why are you complaining to a child also i love that kid was "dude i'm like 6 and i have coloring to in the morning" i hope tylor doesn't have kids

i grad fritz, cutter and duncan are still around i was kinda worried their forgotten

clair what happened to brock did johnny kill him probably not

i was kinda surprise jack and jill were conjoin honestly

idk man i like johnny and clair kids okay there funny

nice parallels man

episode 2

i like roger man he to care more about mift than tylor

good to know how the monsters world treats alternative fuel bad

does anyone else think the guy in the hamster wheel is one of tylor old design kinda what they did back in season 1

honestly if a kid screams and laughter in a giant can make a big explosive and in mu a group of adults could cause a disrupt power in make me think that mixing adults screams and laughter will be nuclear

episode 3

i can't tell if johnny is being stupid and smart while talking to tylor probably the latter

i can't believe this show is woke or something/ joking honestly i find it funny that the reason there at the restaurant tylor is at is cultural appropriation than the place being closed or something

why are so many songs about screams

good job cutting back on the soda fritz also sorry for not getting promote duncan

i can't tylor left his deceased grandfather suit in the closet

roze why are you kissing the waiter did something happend between you and gary did they break up are they i open relationship would they fake dating just to get mike under skin

oh sully i don't think johnny change at all

episode 4

wow fear co is really big

god i love joy so much her design remind me of dragapult from pokemon

chet bubby i don't think johnny love you man

like the chat between rosie and tylor like yeah not everyone can a jokster i guess

i how val or just more to monsters inc treating the kids as kids then a energy source also val could make parent honestly

episode 5

sick burn sully

everyone thinking the stoop is for sale is funny

i ready like old monster lady and her alive scarf thing

tylor had to let go of the past

detective duncan is best duncan also absent father which fuels my theory that duncan and declan parents are divorce and with their respected parent

duncan being into gilf ha i really want draw him simping for Tylor grandma

man tylor family is really poor hope they get their big break

also tylor grandma being a former scarcer is awesome

that all for now i'm gonna to draw now

I will never understand abusers. I was talking with my friend and she told me that her dad's father (her granddad) was so against his and her mom's relationship he literally punched her for standing up for her dad. He passed before she was born but the stuff he did to her parents were just god awful.

I have a special kind of hatred towards abusive/toxic people (which is why I snap/go rapid when I see it in media or people) like I was unlucky and have a physically and mentally abusive father and my mom is emotionally manipulative and very neglectful.

I live with my father still in my grandmothers house (she literally knows all the shit he’s done and refuses to do/say anything and always defends my father and everytime I ‘try’ to argue back they essentially threaten to throw me on the streets for acting like a crazy bitch ‘just like your mother’)

It’s just fucking disgusting and horrible that it’s 2022 (almost 2023) and this shit is still so common??? Like literally emotional abuse isn’t something you can be arrested for and going to authorities is significantly more dangerous since THEY DONT FUCKING PROTECT YOU. Like my dad was horrible to my mom (he straight up was an alcoholic and a drug addict who refused to work and he constantly threatened to hurt/kill me or my brother if our mother didn’t fucking do whatever he wanted)

My mom, went to the fucking police over this. Their advice? “Just move, it’s not that hard.” They basically wouldn’t help until we had solid evidence or one of us was badly hurt. My mom got better with us (she was only aggressive towards us since our father targed her the most, but once she left he targeted me) and left us with our father, thinking she was the problem.

Obviously, that didn’t help. And she divorced our father, which was really bloody and it’s been over 7 years and my dad still threatens her (and us) and we’ve gone to the police, and we’re told the only way they’d do anything is if we press charges.

Why the fuck would we press charges if THEY WON’T PROTECT US DURING THE PROCESS??? Our father is a hunter with a fuck ton of guns, bows & arrows, and UNMARKED GUNS.

We are not going to do anything to worsen the situation obviously, but since if WE leave, he’d hurt or grandmother, she REFUSES to leave or kick him out, even though it’s HER house. My mom is my grandmas daughter. My grandma on my dads side has been missing for over 2 years. He keeps saying he has her in a retirement home, but he won’t tell us and he just came home with her dog one day and gave it to his new girlfriend…

Sorry to just vent but my family is a fucking disaster, and I feel bad when I snap at people for doing similar thinks bc for lack of better words…it ‘triggers’ me I guess and I end up lashing out and having issues controlling my emotions.

(Only upside is I joke about my trauma all the time and it might be alarming to others it’s lowkey amusing for me to just laugh it off than to ever try to confront it)

I should probably meantion I was going to therapy when I was 10-20 and it just…didn’t work, I’m on a lot of medication that kinda helps and my brother wants me to get a therapist but honestly I’m not sure it’ll do anything. I’ve been through 5 therapist and honestly I think I stress them more than they help me.

I feel bad for your friends parents though, that’s just so bad…at least, it sounds like their parents do actually care for each other, and I’m sorry your father was hit, I’m genuinely surprised he stood up to his dad, I would be way too scared.

Your friends dad is hella fucking brave and I’m happy to know he at least ended up having a nice family of his own. He deserves to be happy!

(Hairstyles and Hat)

Just homies being homies.

Pairing(s): Jotaro Kujo³ x reader x Noriaki Kakyoin

"I don't think I've ever seen Jotaro take off his hat."

You stated as you walked along with the cherry-loving boy and looked at the brooding teen in the distance with a curious gaze.

He had his usual fan club surrounding him and squealing loudly, annoying the said 'brooding teen'. It was nothing out of the unusual. "Oh? You haven't seen him without his hat?" The redhead asks you, sounding shocked. You hummed and bobbed your head "yes" in response.

He put a hand under his chin in thought. "Well, I've seen him without his hat before, and shockingly his hair is actually real and not some wig or something." You snickered as you imagined a bald Jotaro under that weird hat of his. "Really? I thought he just has a weird hairline or gone bald under that hat." You laughed, failing to notice Kakyoin's cheery expression contort in a fearful one and the tall buff man menacingly looming behind you.

"If I'm being honest, his hat is just there to keep all his edginess in place." You wheezed and leaned more onto Kakyoin, howling with laughter. "Um-uh Y/N..." You were still busy with laughing and wheezing until you felt a rough hand land over your shoulder. You immediately shut up and stiffly stood up straight.  Slowly, you peeked over your shoulder to see a broad and toned chest that belonged to no other than Jotaro. And it seems that his fangirls were nowhere to be seen too. "Oh-uh hi Jojo." You innocently smiled at him, acting as if you weren't poking fun of his hat and hair.

And good god, his glare was so intense to the point where you can feel you're getting stabbed. Sweating, you pointed behind him hoping he would fall for it. "Anyway, What's that!" You yelled and ran, "Nigerundayo, Kakyoin!" Except you weren't able to get anywhere since Jotaro still has his iron grip on you.

You whipped your head towards Kakyoin and gave him a look of fear and silently begged him to save you meanwhile, the redhead shrugged in response with an evil smile. You heard Jotaro say his infamous quote "Yare Yare Daze." along with that he mumbles "I should stop you from hanging out with Jiji often."

"So um- you're not gonna do the ora ora thing on me because I made fun of your hair....right?" You looked back at him, he sighed and let go of your shoulder. (Although you swear you can feel it bruising, it was either he accidentally made his grip too tight or he purposely did that to give you a warning.) "Listen, if you wanted to see me without my hat you could've just said so. If we weren't so close, I would've beaten you with little to no hesitation." He whispers the last part but you still heard it because oh how close he was looming over you. (You could even feel his warm breath hit your face.)

Eyeing Kakyoin beside you for any guidance, he gave you a thumbs up with a small smile and mouthed "Don't worry, I'll pray for you." Which did not help at all. Looking back at Jotaro, he stepped back and removed his hat. He brushed his hand over his hair while you looked at him with shock and awe. His hair looked curly and fluffy, messy but the look suited him, you resisted the urge to pet his hair knowing he would actually beat you up if you did. You looked back at his hat and it turns out; his hat was just ripped from the back, making it look like a weird wig.

"Oh my god, the Jotaro Kujo hair. I feel so entitled, such an honor." You joked, in reality, you actually felt having such privilege after the emo man shown you his hair. "It's just a damn hair." He grunts and puts his wacky ass hat back on. You frowned, wanting to savor the cute look he had.

"If I was being honest, you look really cute without your hat. Right, Kakyoin?" You looked at him and he nodded in return. "Don't push your luck." He scowled and with that, he gave you one last glare and walked away. You and Kakyoin stared at each other and chuckled, following the broad emo.

Sneaking a glance at the cherry man beside you, you wondered, "Hm, what about Kak's noodle hair.." You spoke up, breaking the silence. "Hey Kaky, what about your noodle hair, does it have lore?" He looked at you in confusion before processing what you said. "Oh! Well, It does have a story..." He says, getting shy towards the end.

"Tell me! We have a lotta time before we get to school!" You beamed and persuaded him to spill out the story. He twirled and played with the weird hair noodle before speaking up, "You see, my mom always cuts my hair when I was a child, and one day I asked if she can cut my hair like hers... And I just got attached to it.. That's just it, nothing interesting I guess..." He rubbed the nape of his neck in embarrassment.

"Aw! That's cute!" You smiled at him. "At least your mom did a great job! My grandma used to cut my hair too! Except I looked like dora the explorer." You explain, laughing at the old memory.

"Dora...who?" He looked at you and tilted his head in confusion again while you just giggled and shook the topic off.

It was silent once again until you recall a memory from your head. "Oh my God, I remembered seeing a french guy with a weird white tower hair at the airport! Imagine the hair gel he uses." Looking at him with a bewildered expression, Kakyoin laughed and shook his head. The two of you were able to catch up to Jotaro so he was now beside you, listening in to the conversation.

"Does he also have huge boobs?" You gasped, "Really huge tiddies. And don't get me started on his ass!" Kakyoin laughed harder and you heard a subtle chuckle from Jotaro.

"Men these days and their weird hat, noodle hair, and tower hair." Kakyoin appears to recover and retaliated. "Hey! What's so special about your hair then?!" He pouted. Gasping, You whipped your head at him and dramatically flipping your hair. "It's called style, Mr. Noriaki." Trying to hold his laughter, he raises one of his eyebrows and slowly nods. His shoulders shaking slightly from holding in the laughter. "Uh-huh."

You heard Jotaro say "Yare Yare." under his breath. When you were about to look at him, he ruffles your hair, messing your hairstyle. You pouted and furrowed your brows at him. "Now, what's so special about your hair?" He mocks. You flipped him off and sped walk away, furiously trying to fix your hair. "I'll get you back for this Kujo!"

The two boys chuckle at your reaction and both trailed behind, following to the school.

(This one is kinda bad,,, sorry for that!)

[mimiatmidnight]

I wasn't really planning to share something like this here, but I feel like it's right. My dad is Latino and my mom is blonde haired, blue eyed, all-white American. My maternal grandmother and her family have said some truly wretched things about my dad, my siblings, and I in the past. "Jokes" about our "other DNA," turning up their noses when we eat ethnic food, sighing and bemoaning to my mom "Well, you're lucky at least your boys got blue eyes." Just recently at a holiday dinner my dad, after an entire night of speaking to his in-laws in their language, turned to me and said ONE tiny inconsequential comment in Spanish (he was literally just asking me if I'd finished my food, and I just replied asking him if he wanted it), and my great aunt was SCANDALIZED, acting like we were sorority bullies excluding her for fun.

My mother's family are ignorant, rude, and sometimes just actually racist. My siblings and I have always talked about how we always felt so American living here in Miami with my dad's family, because we don't speak Spanish that well and we were the only ones with a gringa mother, yet all of us never felt so "ethnic" as when we traveled north to see my mom's family, who never failed to treat us like foreigners.

And yet . . . we still go to see them. We . . . love them, in a way. It's devastating and horrible and I wish it didn't have to be this way, but I can't help loving my grandma. She's my grandma. Even though it was so awful that I had to realize growing up that she will always subconsciously view me as her "mixed" grandchild . . . she's still my grandma.

I know my situation is SO SO SO different from Harry and Meghan's, both because anti-Black racism is a completely different context and also of course the insane escalation of just . . . everything. The global stage, the level of abuse, the threat of violence, the institutional and family history. I know my experience cannot speak for theirs. But . . . I understand a teeeeeeeeeny tiny bit of what they might be feeling. And I relate to the conclusion they have drawn. Nobody should ever have to make that decision, to return to a family environment you know will be hostile towards you, but . . . it's the situation we sometimes find ourselves in. And I will never judge someone for making that decision for themselves.

The wait was worth it <3

When Sunny wakes up in the morning, Hero reveals that he completed all of the former's chores on the list his mom left for him even though Sunny himself never asked him to do that. For the record, Sunny's chores take him three days if he chooses to stay inside on the first day, yet Hero somehow finished them all before Sunny even woke up. Because Hero is just that perfect and awesomesauce, ig

Not only this, but the game has this tendency to show that friends should help each other... by having friends doing things for others without permission. Kel forces Sunny to stay at Basil's. Hero does Sunny's chores for him. The gang decides that Basil just needs his friends by his side while he's crying in the bathroom because his grandma died (which you've explained in detail why it's a horrid breach of agency). I don't like this. Friends helping friends in need is one thing, but this is barging into other people's privacy and boundaries, and we're meant to see it as cute and proof that they have such a strong bond. It doesn't help that these people haven't been close in four years, and evidence suggest that they don't even trust each other that much (Basil and Aubrey).

Due to the game's short three-day timespan, Aubrey's apology to Basil rings hollow. A verbal apology means nothing unless you can back it up with your actions, and Aubrey doesn't get the chance to prove that she's genuinely sorry for what she did before the game throws her and rest of Sunny's friends to the wayside to focus on the plot twist and the final boss in the last hour of the game

By all means, Aubrey should have been the one rescuing Basil from the lake. It would have shown, rather than told, that despite her abrasive behavior she's still the caring Aubrey they knew. But no, she and Kel keep arguing while their friend is drowining, forcing Sunny, the friend with a fear of water, to intervene.

I wish I could like Aubrey. I like the idea of this cute girl falling into a gang of delinquents because she felt abandoned by her old friends. But the game conveniently forgets its attempts to be realistic when it comes to her, her nail bat, and her severe bullying.

Before they all fall asleep, Hero commends Sunny for touching grass and thanks him for "everything" even though Sunny did absolutely nothing for his friends at any point of the story. Most of the scenes in Faraway Town could've had him cut and nothing of value would be lost

It's almost funny how passive Sunny is in the "touching grass" route. The plot of that route is that the gang got together again, right? And what did Sunny do to help? Sure, he saved Basil's life, but Aubrey and Kel could have done that. Kel is the instigator of the plot, because he decided to give Sunny a chance to hang out before he had to move. Kel is the one who spoke for Sunny at every opportunity. Aubrey is the antagonist who acted by stealing Basil's photo album. Then Hero showed up and stuck with his bro. Sunny's journey is entirely about himself, but when it comes to the actual events of the story, until you have the choice to check on Basil or leave him to kill himself, he might as well be a floating camera. something something he's just the baby of the group

Sunny never vocally fights back against the criticisms Omori levels at him, further depriving the former of characterization. Instead, he counters by cherry-picking quotes he heard from his friends (and Mari) over the course of the game to replenish his HP and calm down, twisting the supportive words of the people he hid the truth from to make himself feel better. Because, as Mari's last words to Sunny before Memory Lane show, only he and his feelings actually matter to this game. Why am I supposed to feel bad for this piece of shit again?

This is honestly awful. If I lied to my friends to paint myself as better than I am, and they proceeded to comfort me, I'd feel so ashamed of myself. Not Sunny, though! As long as he feels good about himself, he doesn't care.

The gang offered Sunny all those nice words under the assumption that he was grieving for the loss of his sister who killed himself, a terrible kind of pain. Who's to know if they'd be as charitable if they knew that Sunny not only caused Mari's death, but also let everyone believe she killed herself, making them feel guilty that they didn't do enough to help her?

He got that comfort with a lie by omission. And he's okay with it.

By all means, the climatic fight with Omori should have happened after Sunny confessed everything, and the only thing left was to battle his own self-loathing. Sure, it would still be farfetched if the friends all forgave him for such a cruel lie, but let's assume that they could at least sympathize with him. Now their words would have more weight, and be proof that "friends are supposed to be there for each other". If Sunny got told that he deserves to "find peace or some happiness" after he revealed the truth, it would have been more poignant.

But no. Sunny remembers Mari urging him to forgive himself, and that's all that matters. He's all that matters. He's willing to twist the words of the people closest to him to allievate his own deserved guilt.

May I recommend a show that tackles the topic of forgiveness in a much more mature way?

Sometimes, your actions have such drastic consequences that you do not have the right to demand that the people you hurt should forgive you. And you have to live with that. And masquerating a manslaughter as a suicide and then hiding from the world should absolutely warrant this kind of reaction.

Bojack Horseman was not shy in showing that the titular protagonist is a toxic person who does more harm than good, and while we may root for his happiness, it's perfectly understandable that the people around him don't. But I suppose that a cute sad boy deserves to feel good about himself :)

Edit to add: I forgot about this absolute fuckery in the datamined descriptions of the Mari photos:

Photo of a Lie - As you and BASIL step into the house, you look back towards the trees and see it. The light engulfs it as it sways in the wind… For a moment, you feel at peace. You hate yourself for feeling this way. Is that all, then? Is everything going to be okay now?

I don't know, man, if I saw the body of my recently dead beloved one swinging from a noose, I think I'd feel sick. Not Sunny, though! He's just happy that he might get away with manslaughter :)

I love when a protagonist is a complete blank slate until you analyze the text, and then they become a reprehensible monster <3

Currently replaying OMORI because I'm a masochist with my best friends @beevean and @the-crow-binary providing emotional support lmfao. Even despite how soul-crushingly boring it is, I think we're still having some sort of fun with this clusterfuck of a game

Highlights (and the misc. problems we've managed to spot) so far include:

I already knew that this game's length was detrimental to it during my first solo playthrough, but this playthrough is helping me put into perspective just how bloated OMORI is, even when it comes to an aspect like dialogue. For example, a single conversation between Space Boyfriend and the main cast took us approximately 5 minutes to get through, and it's not like the writing is gripping enough to make us give a shit about the characters or anything they're saying

Speaking of the dialogue, you can just see how hard it tries to be witty and Quirky™ the way Earthbound and indie RPGs like Undertale were. Needless to say, it fails horribly, and the end result of that was me having to fast-track some conversations because they were unfunny and weren't relevant at all

I got unintentionally (!) stuck in White Space for 15-20 minutes because I couldn't find the map the game needed me to find to let me open the door. Beev came to hate the repetitive 8-bit BGM the area had by the time I finally found the map lol. game_design.exe

Headspace's music is so ear-gratingly abysmal oh my god. I can only call it "dollar-store Kirby music" because that's the most appropriate description that comes to mind and I'm pretty sure Lost at a Sleepover gave Beev severe PTSD. Of course, the music of Faraway Town isn't any better: the "track" that plays in the first fight with Aubrey is less music than it is the result of an .exe file being put through an audio player. Sonic Chronicles might have some serious competition in the "worst video game soundtrack" category asdfghjkl

The plot of the Faraway Town segments is so cookie-cutter that it genuinely hurts to sit through. Character writing (or the lack thereof) aside, Sunny and Kel spend half a day loitering around the town and asking Aubrey's cronies where she is even though Kel could've easily gotten that information from Mikhael had he just indulged the latter's delusions of grandeur a little bit

Faraway Town's daytime sky is literally a scrolling JPEG of a cloudy sky. The battle backgrounds of the real world segments are edited JPEGs as well. Everyone's houses look exactly the same on the outside save for some of them being a different color. The developers spent six years and more than $200,000 on this game.

Sunny's fights against his fears are boring. You just need to wait until a particular turn when the game grants you a special skill you use to end the fight immediately. What was the point of designing these hallucinatory monsters if the player doesn't get to fight them at any point during the main route?

Aubrey (ostensibly) swinging a nail bat at Sunny is not treated with the same degree of realism as Sunny slashing her with a knife. Additionally, Aubrey rides away on her scooter just fine even though she's supposed to be bleeding

Mari's picnic baskets are inexplicably scattered all across the town and fulfill the exact same function as they do in Headspace. So much for realism!

I won two of the fights against Aubrey's goons even though I was trying to lose. gameplay.exe

Sunny is even more unpleasant than I remember. He doesn't respond to Basil - who is supposedly his best friend - when the latter talks to him, stays silent while (and after) Kel vents to him about Hero yelling at him and barges into the church despite Kel advising him to wait until the sermon ends. Why should I feel bad for him again?

Kel generally seems to treat Sunny like an actual baby, spelling out incredibly obvious things to the latter (e.g. that Sunny shouldn't be carrying a knife or walking in the road because it's dangerous) and making all of Sunny's decisions for him, to the point of not allowing Sunny to return into his own house until nighttime under the pretense of "there's so much to do! it's a brand new day!"

Finally, the "fight" against Sunny's fear of spiders comes completely out of nowhere since nothing triggered said fear during Sunny's adventures outside

Peak game, everyone.

And it's going to get way worse down the line!

Love Languages - Adrien and Marinette

Talking about Adrien and Marinette’s contrasting love languages!

I think Marinette's love language is pretty obvious. Her two major love languages seem to be gifts and acts of service.

Marinette mainly expresses her affections through gifts. She's always making gifts for Adrien. And when it comes to giving those gifts, she's always super afraid and literally acts like giving them would be a declaration of love or something. You can see her getting freaked out over giving Adrien a gift in both The Bubbler and Cat Blanc.

Oh, and she's well prepared too...she has a chest full of gifts FOR HIM.

(Who does that? Normal people with crushes don't. Marinette expresses her feelings in an exaggerated manner).

In the Gamer, she gives him her lucky charm bracelet. This scene is very prominent. Marinette's major love language is through gifts and the fact that she's giving him a gift without stuttering in this scene is just...beautiful. Also, it's not something she planned beforehand. She literally took out her lucky charm bracelet and was like: Here, you can have it. She said it like it was no big deal. I think this scene really explores her feelings for him and it's where you see more of her genuine feelings without all her awkward and exaggerated shenanigans.

The reason why her prominent love language is gifts is pretty obvious to me. It’s quite obvious that she’s not very good with words, and I believe she has even mentioned that in the webisode, she struggles to express herself through words, she can never really say what she truly means. 

Therefore, the best way she can express love is through gifts as she's able to use her love of fashion and creation to express herself in a more comfortable manner.

She also seems to understand the value of gifts much better than others. She's very connected to them even if they seem weird.

In Befana, she says that she doesn't really care what the gift is, she cares more about the person giving it. Despite her grandma and Tikki's weird gift, you can see her put use into both gifts as she made them into a purse and pendant. That shows that she values gifts and she used her skill of design to make something out of even the plainest gifts.

Moreover, she was swooning completely over the Lucky Charm bracelet that Adrien gave her. Well...she does swoon a lot over him. But this is more prominent as she values gifts A LOT, she was all like...he actually brought me a gift that he made by himself. To her, that's very important. Someone reciprocating your own love language is the most dearest thing to a person.

Moving onto Marinette's 2nd love language, this one is acts of service. It' not as prominent but it's still important. Her first love language seemed more vividly expressed and she mainly used it to express her feelings towards Adrien. Mainly Adrien.

However, acts of service, I feel like this expresses more of her general love. She uses it mainly on everyone. It's not mainly specified to Adrien like her first love language.

She's very generous and she's always helping others. You can see this when she's both Ladybug and Marinette. She's always doing favours for other people despite her troublesome double life.

As she's not good with words, she represents general forms of love through her actions. But she doesn't use her prominent love language towards everyone as she does to Adrien. That's the differentiation.

Also, as I stated above, when someone else is reciprocating your own love language, you can understand it more and it makes you feel special.

There's one thing I noticed. The umbrella scene is an act of service! And Marinette is NOT the one expressing it. Adrien is!

No wonder she fell in love with him in that moment...

Adrien was reciprocating her own language, and since she understood it more, that's why it had such a huge impact on her.

She's shown to believe that actions speak louder than words in multiple situations (maybe because she's not too good with words as mentioned).

I feel like she expresses her first love language more and she likes receiving the other one more. BALANCE.

Of course, out of all the love languages, she uses these too the most and since she can understand these two languages, she's quite skilled at them. She understands both of them easily.

Luka seems to express acts of service more. And since Marinette seems to like receiving the love language more and the fact that she also understands it better. It makes sense why she sees Luka's feelings more prominently in comparison to Adrien.  

I did NOT make this meme. The credit goes fully to the original creator.

Anyways, let's move on to Adrien's love languages!

His two most prominent love languages are words of affirmations and touch.

Narrowing down his main love languages were really difficult, since he’s so love-deprived, he’s very accepting of all forms.

It does make sense as it's something he lacked most of his life. His sheltered life means less affection. I can see his mom being affectionate but Gabriel doesn't really strike me as the touchy-feely type (bad parenting things). I think the loss of his mom made him just crave this even more. Word of love, gentle touches and hugs. It's what he understands and expresses more. You crave what you lack more than what you have.

It was really tough for me to actually differentiate between these two but I finally came to a conclusion.

I feel that words of affirmation is the one he expresses more. It's more prominent and there's actually a lot of proof too.

Cat Noir:  It's precisely when something is important, that it's important to say it, no matter what.

Puppeteer 2 shows that he understands the importance of words and it actually makes a lot of sense as it's his prominent language (Ironically, Marinette is awful at words, true opposites).

He does express it more vividly towards Ladybug than anyone else. He compliments and encourages her during battle most of the time. I guess you could say his flirting is a form of his love language too.

(He also does express it towards Marinette a lot, she comes a very close second as he's always complimenting her too. More proof that Adrien DOES have feelings for Marinette, he's just confused).

In Dark Cupid, he was planning to write a poem for her, and that's another sign that he's pretty good at expressing his feelings through words (another contrast to Marinette's struggle in writing a poem).

He's also very flustered when Ladybug is complimenting Cat Noir.

Like in Gorizilla when he blushes during the scene where Ladybug tells him she trusts Cat Noir.

Of course, this is very general, but a reminder, I feel this is more of his expressive language than receptive one.

As for his more receptive language, it’s touch. He also uses it a lot though mainly my confusion to what his prominent language was. Because he's a very touchy person (especially towards Marinette and Ladybug). Not to everyone but he does touch and talk a lot, with people he's close too. He's always putting his hands on their shoulders or something.

The way I could differentiate is that he actually likes receiving gentle touches and hugs more. You should see the way he reacts...

In Simon Says, when Gabriel lunges in for a hug, Adrien is genuinely surprised. I mean the more obvious reasoning is that clearly Gabriel is not a hugger so that's probably he was surprised with his cold father's show of affection. This isn't really the only instance.

He's surprised when Ladybug hugs her in Miracle Queen. His gasp shows it. In Prime Queen, when Ladybug grabs onto his hand. He's also surprised with Marinette's cheek kiss, even though it's normal in France to express gratitude via cheek kisses, he's still was surprised with his mouth agape and everything.

But his surprise isn't a bad thing. He actually seems happy with his touches. We all know his face is beaming more brighter than usual.

Before I end this, I'd like to comment on how their love languages seem to clash.

As they clearly have different love languages, opposite languages, they face difficulty understanding the other's language. This may be why there so oblivious (Ladybug is less oblivious because she does know now but she always faced difficulty understanding Cat Noir's actions in the past and saw his flirting as cocky and irritating).

I don't blame them. Their love languages are very different: Adrien's love language is more direct and simple whereas Marinette's is more indirect and confusing. This even matches their characters  (simple and straight forward vs convoluted!).

They are getting better at understanding each other's contrasting languages. Ladynoir has developed more in that department. Adrienette has a lot of potential for development in S4.

(I wrote this some time ago, before the New York Special, it could lack some context from there, but it looks fine to me...at the moment...)

Yashahime Episode 15

I think so many of my feelings and observations have been stated by others at this point, but here go my rambling thoughts anyway.

First the negative:  It was an oddly structured episode.  The introduction threw us straight into the past, very, very briefly framed by Riku as the narrator.  Did Riku break the fourth wall or were we to assume a listener we did not see?  I’m still not sure.  So much information was thrown at the audience that it did not feel like there was enough times to savor the emotions of the moments ...  very very important moments that showed us Inuyasha and Kagome’s home and married dynamic, pregnant Kagome, RIN HAVING HER BABIES with Kaede, Sango and Kagome being there (I LOVED that), Sesshomaru taking his babies...I’m willing to wait and assume this rushed narrative is on purpose, but it was a little jarring.

Now the good:

Rin is the mommy!  I knew that.  I was convinced on August 1st during the livestream, but it was a sweet (if all too brief) moment.  Mamiko Noto’s voice as Rin was so perfect.  It was sweet, but it was subdued.  It was the voice of a someone who had just birthed twins and knows something awful is about to go down.  To hear her name the babies was a beautiful moment, and how sweet were baby Towa and Setsuna.  Towa looked a little grumpy/sleepy, but baby Setsuna was already smiling :).  I do think they will show that Setsuna, deep down, is a smiling sweet girl like her mother and that circumstances made her like she is.  It also makes me think that we have only seen one side of Towa -- we haven’t really seen what she has inherited from Sesshomaru -- yet.

I loved that all of Rin’s friends surrounded her and helped her have her babies.  The twins hurrying to get Kaede, Sango going for Kagome...it was a community event!  But seriously, to know that if only for a short while, Rin got to be surrounded by love and peace with her babies by her side makes the bitterness of Sesshomaru taking the babies so quickly afterwards a little easier to bear.  Just a little.  Sango the experienced mom.  Kaede the midwife.  Rin the new mom.  Kagome the expectant mom.  Imagine the conversations and bonding.  Their kids should have grown up together :(. 

And I am going to speculate, until the show proves me wrong, that Rin probably had her own hut and continued to live in the village after she married Sesshomaru, or at least after she got pregnant.  The fact that the twins came to get Kaede at night makes me think that she was not in Kaede’s hut.  Wouldn’t Kaede be at her own place at night? 

Like Inuyasha and Kagome, I think Rin and Sesshomaru had their own place:

This looks different from Kaede’s hut.  I don’t remember the little pathway on the left, but it’s impossible to tell if they are next to the gate here.  Again, I’m choosing to believe they had their own place.

So, this makes me consider how much Sesshomaru really did settle down for Rin.  He gave up his titles.  He did not take her to a castle in the air.  He let her stay among her friends and start a family WITH HIM but still within the village.  He gave her the best of both worlds.  He MARRIED her.  How many times was she called his wife or bride?  She’s no concubine or human piece on the side.  He MARRIED her.  Since he had not seen his mother in a while, I’m assuming he married her in her village, letting everyone know she wasn’t just some poor village girl taken advantage of by the powerful yokai. And it clearly wasn’t just a human marriage.  All the big bad demons called Rin Sesshomaru’s wife. What honor, respect and love he showed to her, a mere human peasant (though of course we all know she is so much more than that, especially to Sesshomaru).

Was he like many lords and installed her in her own home, visiting and staying with her when he did not have business to attend to?  Or did he tell Inuyasha that he better get used to having another demon hanging out in his forest by the village?  Like...for all intents and purpose, Sesshomaru may have been living in the same village as Inuyasha, both intending to raise their families together.  I love that.  Please Yashahime, don’t dissuade me of this.

Poor Sesshomaru...sigh...I know it doesn’t look great for him right now...but that will change.  The story is not going to make him the villain.  It’s just not.  But yes, poor Sesshomaru.  He got to be happy about his babies being born for all of about two seconds before Zero interrupted him.  Look at his little smile while he listens to his daughters’ first cries:

He had his worried face on, and then he smiled.  He’s a dad in the waiting room.  And the TONE of Jaken’s voice when he declared that they had been born.  The WARMTH, the LOVE.  Grandpa Jaken I love you so much.

This bitch, though, I don’t love at all:

Does she have some kind of magic yokai ultrasound that lets her know Sesshomaru had twin daughters and predicted Kagome would have a daughter?  I look forward to seeing how this all unravels, but the fact that she showed up IMMEDIATELY after the girls were born is frightening, and maybe that was why Sesshomaru was at the outskirts of the village instead of closer by?  Clearly, they were expecting some kind of attack, but dang...that happened fast.

Who is this lady anyway?  I’ve seen it speculated that it may be Riku’s mother...and yes?  I could see that.  Did she have a hanyou she was not allowed to keep,  poor Riku tossed overboard, and now she seeks revenge? Or was she rejected by Toga? Those tears of hers.  Who was she crying for?

As many others noticed, this was a little odd:

What about Sesshomaru’s mother?  He hasn’t seen her in years (such a bad son), and when they go to her castle, she’s missing.  Was she just off doing flying dog stuff in the sky?  Was she shopping for expensive jewelry and designer silks?  I’m assuming she was not at Sesshomaru’s wedding.  Or did Zero do something to her and Sesshomaru just wasn’t aware?  I’m dying to see more of Sesshomaru’s mom.  I want her to meet the twins and just throw out her arms all, “Come to Grandma!  Let me buy you things and tell you stories about your dad.”  But that remains to be seen.

Speaking of grandparents, can I say yet again that I love the honorary grandparents Kaede and Jaken, both trying to protect Rin in their own way.  Kaede doesn’t hold back and calls Sesshomaru a fool (imagine what she was like when Sesshomaru was truly courting Rin) while Jaken comforts Rin when her babies are taken away.  Again, the voice acting by Jaken’s VA is EVERYTHING in this episode.  The LOVE he conveys.  He’s perfect.  I love him.  I do.

And Rin knew the plan. She knew what was going to happen, but poor thing...I wish it could have been different for her.  Look how much she loves and trusts Sesshomaru.  That expression clearly says “Look what I made! Look what WE made!”  I wish we could have seen them react to the babies together. 

Also, look at how Sango is about THISCLOSE to putting on her slayer clothes and kicking Sesshomaru’s ass when he scooped up those babies and turned away:

The rest of the episode was such a jumble of events.  Sesshomaru AND Jaken were with Inuyasha and Kagome when the comet arrived, which was after the twins’ birth but before Moroha’s.  Even if they are hanyo, I don’t think Jaken and Sesshomaru would have left newborn babies alone.  Rin was with them.  Jaken even said he was bringing Rin to them (I assume after she recovered from birthing twins).  Further supporting this would be the dream gazing spell business --  Like others have said, I’m pretty sure Rin sacrificed herself to keep her remaining daughter safe after Towa was pulled into the future.

Miscellaneous observations:

1. What the hell is going on with the comet? Every 500 years?  So, the Higurashis might be in for a surprise pretty soon?  Comet remnants are still in the sky though...

2. Why in the hell did Inuyasha bring his pregnant wife along for the comet destruction? Why exactly was she there?  Unless he was too worried about her safety to leave her behind?

3. Riku is one shady fellow.  HE found the compact?  How did he know where to look? I know, I know.  Don’t be hasty, but c’mon.  We don’t have that many episodes left.

4.  I like how they portrayed a pregnant Kagome.  I like this little side view where you can see she’s chunky, but it’s not an exaggerated thing:

5. Sesshomaru and Rin had babies before Inuyasha and Kagome! On one level, it is very sweet.  Of anyone, Rin and Sesshomaru are very aware of the fragility of life and how fleeting time is.  Look at the names of their daughters.  It makes sense that they wanted a family quickly.  On the other hand, I cannot shake the idea that the brothers did get competitive with each other.  I can imagine Inuyasha knocking up Kagome as quickly as possible after finding out that Rin was pregnant.  Then Sesshomaru has TWO daughters to Inuyasha’s one.  I am longing for some brotherly interactions.  Let Inuyasha call him a hypocrite at least once.  Let Sesshomaru gloat that he has TWO super awesome daughters. Let the daughters watch their ridiculous fathers fist fight while their mothers pour water on them and tell them to SIT.  Please.

6. Besides emphasizing the fact that Rin is Sesshomaru’s WIFE, the episode also emphasized the fact that Rin actually birthed the girls. Rin is in labor, it will be soon, you did well, Rin, Rin resting in bed with her daugthers, her voice weak and tired, the tub used to wash the babies in the background.  There was no magic switcheroo.  The twins were not found beneath a tree.  Sesshomaru did not sprout them from a forgotten limb. They came out of Rin’s body.  She’s the mom. She made them with her husband. End of.

6. Finally, this is the best part of the episode.

You sure did, Rin. 

Now where are A-Un and Shippo?

AOT Characters with a filipino S/O!

[Author Note: I just made this out of impulse lol, I’ll make a part two with the AOT veterans- if it’s requested then I’ll make a part three with the Marley Warriors- feedback is also appreciated on all my posts :))]

[Summary: It’s just headcanons, AOT with a filipino S/O lol, that’s it. that’s the post.]

Recommended song: Sa Susunod Na Lang - Skusta Clee ft. Yuri.

Gender Neutral Reader.

Theme: Fluff, Modern AU.

TW: Swearing.

Characters: Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Marco, Connie, Sasha.

Eren Jaeger

He probably fucks up his greetings with your parents, surprisingly your dad loves him, both of them talk about basketball and boxing, whenever Many does a fight, you and him come over so Eren could watch with you dad.

This man gets bodied by your dad ALL THE TIME during basketball, it’s valid because your dad used to be a basketball player.

He eats with his hands, yes he also got that from your dad. Your mom always comes up to you, while Eren and your dad talk, she’s happy that you found someone, and that Eren reminds her a lot of your dad.

Mans swallows rice like it was no one’s business, he eats that shit with barbecue and vinegar. 

You can’t tell me he gets drunk with your dad and his friends?? They watch boxing matches and eat peanut while drinking beer.

For some reason he acts like he lives there?? Like the whole community knows about him, the kids like playing with him, the guys like doing karaoke and drinking beer with them, and the titas and lolas love talking about your relationship with him and how they would totally marry a guy like that if they ever met someone like that when they were younger.

His favourite thing about the culture? Probably how open the people were, they were very generous and kind.

Armin Arlert

When you first told him, he was kind of like, “okay??” but he also took time out of his day to research your culture, he’s the type to catch you in a sad mood where you really miss your country, and take time out of his day to try his best to make food from your culture.

He’s mastered to cook Tofu Sisig and Halo-Halo. You always ask him to make it for you whenever you’re sad.

He could never understand how your family’s able to sit in your traditional clothing, he tries his hardest not to scratch, he literally looks at you with a look begging for help because he was itchy but he didn’t want to take it off.

You had to explain that he doesn’t always have to participate in your culture, because respecting your culture was enough for you. Mans cried because he thought he was horrible for not wearing the Barong for the whole ceremony.

He does loves trying filipino recipes, he loves seeing you cook adobo or tapsilog in the morning, it just fills the house with an amazing aroma.

he knows how to say ‘i love you’ in Tagalog and he has fully replaced ‘I love you’ with ‘Mahal Kita.’ 

Favourite thing about the culture? The language, he just loves learning new words everyday, his favourite saying so far is, “Huwag kang mag-alala. Akong bahala.” (Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.)

Mikasa Ackerman

Poor baby was confused, she caught you talking on the phone in another language and she just stared concerningly at you, forgetting about whatever she’s doing.

She was also afraid to try your food?? Until you shove a ube-filled riceball (in filipino, Buchi) in her mouth, she ends up making it her comfort food, she asks you to make Buchi with her, she likes to eat the left over filling.

she actually wants to keep trying some of your culture’s food, her favourites so far is definitely Taho and Kaldereta, and of course Buchi.

She can’t say much in tagalog but she does know traditions, she did the binasuan dance with you once, amazingly she kept all cups in balance for her first time.

She knows how bless and actually calls people tita and tito, or ate and kuya. She was kind of, ahem, convinced, to call your parents nanay and tatay.

Your parents always complain about how you haven’t married Mikasa yet, Mikasa was confused about why she could hear them talking about her, but you reassured her that it was only just your parents egging you to marry Mikasa. In which she blushed in return.

Mikasa also learns recipes from Armin, those two cook for ther S/O’s so much that even their S/O feel like their not filipino enough, they got to try things even they didn’t know filipino culture had.

Jean Kirstein

SUPRISINGLY, he knows what blessing is, went as far as saying “Mano po.” whenever he did.

 your dad hates him for some reason lmfao like your dad’s always staring at him with a weird expression.

He’s scared of your dad, no cap. first time you guys went on a date and didn’t have a house together, he almost shit himself talking to your dad.

You tried to teach him to do the tinikling dance and he almost broke his leg.

You and your parents conversed by yelling at each other, like Sasha, he too thought that you were arguing with them and he tapped you on the shoulder like, “Should I leave?-” You were confused as he was, you had to explain that yelling was a way filipinos communicated.

He was concerned when you would hit him while laughing, you also had to explain that was also something most filipino’s communicated.

He tried picking the language up but he just butchers the pronunciation.

Favourite thing about your culture is the places, if he could he probably would’ve bought a private island.

Does this man know how to cook filipino food?? Yessir!! He’s absolute god at cooking, imagine when he finds out we have a whole CHEESE ice cream-

Mans was confused confused, why..would you like cheese ice cream?? surprisingly he likes the ice cream, it’s sweet and salty??

Connie Springer

THIS MAN- he thought filipino was a sexuality?? when you told him, he’s like “so, what gender do you prefer then?” 

HE WAS DUMBFOUNDED WHEN HE FOUND OUT WHAT FILIPINO MEANT-

I just know he shared filipino swears with Sasha, he actually grew accustomed to them, once in a while you’ll hear, ‘PUTANGINA’ throughout the house, because he stubbed his toe.

ugh he rocked the barong too, AND HE ROCKED HIS TINIKLING DANCE.

your titas seemed to love him?? Every time you talk to them, they ask if he’s doing okay.

He actually is a simp for filipinos, he was awestruck with how much beautiful women and men there were in the Philippines.

you cannot tell me this man doesn’t watch Manny Paqcuiao’s boxing fights.

In general he tries his best to respect your culture and not disrespect them, but he cannot bless for the life of him.

favourite thing about your culture is the adobo, he says its “bussin’”.

He drinks with your titos and your dad. No way he doesn’t, he also plays basketball with them.

traumatized somehow by the naked children running down the street sometimes- Filipino streets man, a little too comfortable-

He was shocked to find out that some people showered outside?? Like comfortably?

Man covers his whole face bc he feels like a perv.

Marco Bodt

Absolute researcher in your culture, like Armin, he actually makes sure he’s not disrespecting it or anything.

HE DOES THE BLESS GESTURE, but he whispers in your ear about how he accidentally blessed one of your titas too hard

his favourite filipino dish is Buko Pandan, he literally couldn’t help but get seconds when your grandma offered him a cup.

tbh he rocked his barong, he looked so good, like GAH DAYUM.

he picked up some words since he really loved being around your family, you were lively and your family was so open to accepting him.

you and him danced in a barong and baro’t saya for your wedding reception.

genuinely, he was in fearful awe when you caught a rat your parents have been complaining about in their house, remind you rats in the Philippines are as big as kittens 

He also calls you Mahal, it’s kinda cringey but you thought it was cute.

Favourite part of your culture, the clothing, he’s always asking to go to parties just so he can wear the barong.

he’s also deathly afraid of the bodies of water the Philippines has, he doesn’t know if murky water scares him more than clear water in the islands.

Mans tried his best to corporate your culture into your guys’ wedding, until your Tito Philip brought a WHOLE ASS LIVE CHICKEN as a wedding gift?!

he was kinda sad y’all didn’t keep the chicken.

Sasha Braus

Sasha honestly didn’t know that your were filipino until you spoke your language with a family member, you guys were yelling at each other and Sasha thought y’all were fighting-

she wants to learn the language BUT ONLY THE SWEARS, connie and her both.

she loves when you speak to her in your langauge, she loves guessing what you’re telling her. SHE ALSO LOVES WHEN UR PARENTS TRY TO SPEAK TO HER AND THEIR ACCENTS COME OUT.

you guys actually went to the Philippines for your guys’ honeymoon. did she almost spend all your money? yes, did you let her? duh.

Her most favourite thing about your culture is definitely the food, and beautiful people like you.

Genuinely rocks the Baro’t Saya, her short hair goes well with the dress, her colour was a dullish-pastel pink, she had a matching fan with it too! 

She wore it for your birthday, almost ruined it by almost spilling fruit salad on it.

THIS WOMAN- SHE WAS LITERALLY CRYING TEARS OF JOY WHEN SOMEONE BROUGHT OUT THE LECHON (a whole roasted pig).

Yes, she almost ate half of it, she would’ve probably finished it if it weren’t for her eating everything else, a human compost bin, you got leftovers? She’ll eat em.

She loved going to Jollibee with you, you and her have dates where you literally eat almost everything off the menu.

[secret-engima]

Tomorrow is looking up to be - absolutely terrible. Can I beg you for some RWBY or FFXV snippets, please?

Of course! I know it is the "tomorrow" you speak of but lemme see what I can dig up-

Team Gremlin:

There was silence for a long, long time. Nothing but Ruby’s sobbing and Yang’s pounding heart and the fear that pressed down on them from all around. Formless, but not nameless. Then she heard the stairs creak and for one moment Yang was sure that “Salem” was coming upstairs to get Ruby.

But then the door opened and Yang saw Dad’s boots, “Girls? It’s okay. Come on out.” Yang didn’t move, Ruby just sobbed a little louder and clung tighter to her. Dad sighed and bent down to peer at them, “You heard all that didn’t you.” He looked … not mad, but stressed. Maybe scared, and that made the fear worse for Yang. Yang clung to Ruby, her precious baby sister with silver eyes that no monster should be able to get to, and nodded. Dad’s face pinched, then he gave a smile that even she could tell was fake, “Come on out, girls. It’s okay. I promise. That was all just- that was adult talk okay? You don’t need to worry about that until you’re older-.”

“Ruby’s eyes,” Yang bit out, “R-ruby has Mom’s e-eyes.”

“It’s okay, Yang, Ruby, I promise. We’ll take care of it-.”

A creak of wood behind Dad and he frowned before straightening up and turning to face whoever was there, “I’ll be down in a minute, just let me-.”

“Taiyang,” Professor Ozpin sounded weirdly calm, more calm than Dad did, “may I speak to them?”

“…I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

A sigh, “I am well aware of your opinion on this matter, Taiyang, and I respect it. But they have already heard enough to be terrified. Telling them to forget it now is not only impossible but potentially worse than talking to them. You made your stance on this matter very clear, but that does not apply to your children if it will put them in danger.” Professor Ozpin’s voice softened, “Either I speak with them or Qrow does, but please. Let one of us help.”

Dad didn’t move for a long time, then his boots made for the door, “Fine. But don’t drag them into this more than you have to.” A deep breath, “Girls? I’m going downstairs to check on your mother, if you need anything, just shout, okay? Professor Ozpin is going to talk to you for a little bit. He’ll be very nice.” The last bit was said in the same voice he used when warning Zwei not to dig holes in the yard.

Dad’s boots disappeared and fancy black shoes came closer. There was a pause, then, “Would you prefer to stay under the bed?” Ruby whined and Yang glared without a word. She didn’t know what was going on, but Dad seemed mad at Professor Ozpin and everything was scary and so yes, she wanted to stay under the bed. The tip of his fancy cane tapped the floorboards a few times, then there was a hiss and a whirr of gears like from her parents’ gear and the tip disappeared. With a grunt, he knelt down and then lay down on his stomach like even Mom rarely did. He pillowed his chin on his crossed arms and it was so strange seeing a fancy, famous person lying on his belly on the floor of Ruby’s room that Yang snorted despite herself.

Professor Ozpin’s face crinkled into a faint smile and it looked real and warm, “Hello there. You must be Yang and Ruby. I am Professor Ozpin, I’m a friend of your uncle and your mother. Can I safely assume you heard the most important parts of that conversation? The Grimm and the silver eyes and,” the briefest hesitation, “Salem?”

Ruby finally pulled her face away from Yang’s shoulder to whimper, “I-is she gonna take Mom away and m-make her a Grimm? Is she gonna t-take me?”

“Ah. You have silver eyes,” Professor Ozpin murmured, then his face fell back into that faint, warm smile, “Your mother is alright now, and now that we know what is going on, we will be much more careful. I promise, I will do everything in my power to keep your mother and you safe. But to do that … I would like to tell you a story, and you must both promise me to never tell it to anyone. For the safety of you and your mother.” They nodded, hesitantly, even though Yang certainly didn’t want to hear anymore scary things today. But if it would help keep Ruby and Mom safe-.

Professor Ozpin’s smile faded, but his eyes were still warm, “Once upon a time,” he began, and they listened intently as the man with white hair slowly outlined a story that sounded right out of a fairy tail.

...

Always I Dreamed verse:

Summer had no idea what Professor Ozpin had been thinking, making her the leader of Team STRQ. Then again, the only other real option would have been Taiyang, and as much as she enjoyed his company and was coming to think of him as a good friend and teammate, he wouldn’t have been able to handle the Branwen twins.

Not that Summer was much better at handling the Branwen twins.

They hadn’t done anything to get the team in trouble, but she didn’t know how to deal with them. Taiyang made sense, even if he had a few oddly adorable hangups on things like “modesty” —they were two guys and two girls living in the same room, she didn’t really see what modesty had to do with anything when they weren’t out in public—. Taiyang understood her when she tried to … bond with the team, tried to get them to be more than just four strangers living under the same roof and tackling the same assignments in class. Raven and Qrow on the other hand…

Every time she suggested a group activity, they watched her like she was going to bite. Like they couldn’t fathom the point of learning more about or bonding with anyone outside themselves. Taiyang had suggested it was an out of kingdom thing, but Summer had lived outside the kingdoms until five years ago, and she had never acted like that. Her family hadn’t either. That feral behavior, wary distrust and eerie staring in the middle of the night like even the room wasn’t safe to sleep in without a watch wasn’t anything like what Summer and her family or neighbors had grown up with. The only ones who had acted even similar had been-.

Oh.

Now that’s an idea.

...

Blood of My Blood verse:

The next one was a whole month after Grandma Crepera had first appeared and only a week after the scary man with the mace, but three times was enough for Dionysus to be able to immediately tell what was happening when he blinked his way to awareness in a dream. He looked around uneasily, afraid of being yelled at by someone again, but … there was no one scary nearby. He was in a small little building inside a big, unfamiliar garden. The building was just a roof and little pillars holding it up and a stone floor to stand on with a little table inside and-.

A woman.

She was sitting at the table, working on something, but instead of it being paperwork like Grandpa or taking care of a sword like Uncle Cor, she was … spinning mud? She was making mud spin and pulling at it with her hands, changing its shape with her fingers, and Dionysus hadn’t realized he’d drifted into the gazebo to watch her in awe until she glanced up from her work and smiled at him. She went back to watching her mud, and when she spoke, her voice wasn’t echoing and scary, “Hello. Would you like to join me? I have enough for both of us to use if you like.”

Dionysus watched the spinning-spinning-spinning in awe, but shook his head and tucked his hands behind his back, “Iggy says I can’t play in the mud cause I’ll get dirty an’ it’s unb- unbe- bad for a prince.” He blinked up at her, “How come you’re playing in the mud? Iggy says old people don’ like mud.”

The spinning slowed to a stop as she stared at him and he wondered if she was going to get mad. But then she started laughing, an old, deep sound that felt nice, all the way to his bones, “This is not mud, Cheeky Prince, this is clay. People use it to make things like mugs and teapots and vases. Come, come sit and I will show you how.” She waved her muddy hand and set down a chair next to hers in a flash of magical rosy-blue sparks. So she was family, just like the last ones had been. Dionysus hadn’t known he had so much family before. Then again, he was pretty sure they were all dead, and that’s why they were talking to him in dreams rather than when he was awake —and a part of him wondered if that should scare him, but it didn’t, so as long as they didn’t act scary, he didn’t bother trying—.

Dionysus climbed onto the chair and watched her in curiosity. It still looked a lot like mud to him, but it was a different color from mud, so he supposed it could be something else. The woman was spinning her clay again, fingers deftly shaping and pinching and rubbing, “My name is Nyssia, though some once called me the Just.”

Dionysus thought of the Hall of Arts and all the pictures and statues in it, including some of Grandma Crepera, and wondered if she was one of the pictures in the Hall, “Just like Grandma Crepera?”

An amused twitch of her lips, “Yes, I am like Crepera. We are both related to you, but we are older than King Regis.”

He tilted his head, partially mesmerized by what she was doing with the spinning clay, but curious despite himself about other things. She was like Grandma Crepera and the others, but she hadn’t used a scary voice at all, “How come?”

She hummed without looking away from her work, “How come what, Cheeky Prince? I cannot read your mind.”

Dionysus pouted at her, because wasn’t it obvious what he was asking? But then he said, “You don’ have a scary voice like they do.”

Now she did glance up at him with a look like Grandpa had when he said something silly, “Oh, don’t I?” Dionysus jolted in his seat, startled, but not … scared. Her voice had echoed just now, deep and layered like when Grandma Crepera or Leon had spoken, but it didn’t make him feel like he needed to go hide. It reminded him oddly of the big, booming bells that hung from old church in his favorite movie, loud but mellow. He kind of liked it, but he was still glad when her voice went back to normal as she shrugged, “I merely thought you would not like it if I used that voice. So I did not.”
